FAQ
How can I keep my drinks ice cold?
For 20 minutes, place them in the freezer. This will allow them to cool quickly and not dilute the drink.
What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
You could also try a Manhattan. Another great option. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon, you use rye whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.

Fresh ingredients make for the best cocktails. They should have interesting tastes and be well-balanced.
When mixing drinks, quality spirits are the best. If you are using cheap vodka, you might as well drink water.
